The Catalyst Community

God sees beyond what we can see so He knows how best to guide and lead us. Being led by Him is a privilege because He knows the outcome of it all. God's love should influence our theology of hearing from Him.

It is important to know that every believer can be led by the Spirit of God. Not because of your level of fervency, but because God said He would lead us!

Leaps and Bounds Conference Day 2

As we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Catalyst Church, we are careful to recognize how the sufficiency and zeal of the Lord have brought us this far.

The zeal of the Lord is God’s jealous commitment to his plan.

To experience the zeal of the Lord, you must align yourself with the purpose of God.

Believe with all of your might and your soul, what God has spoken and the zeal of the Lord will perform it.

There are two things you need to know about the Glory of God:

1. The glory of God is a message.

2. The glory of God is also an atmosphere.

The message of God is Salvation through Christ Jesus.

You hear the message, the message brings you into an atmosphere.

Remembering the extent of the work of Christ will always bring you to a place of consecration. Devotional fervor is something you can experience consistently. But it requires discipline.

The cure to prayerlessness is prayer, even when you don't feel like it. A key to sustaining your spiritual fire is surrounding yourself with other believers.

Overcoming temptation requires a response that is controlled spiritually because how you react ultimately influences the outcome.

To truly conquer temptation, it's essential to respond not with your thoughts, but with the Word of God.

To be made in the image of God means that you have an inherent resemblance to God in your being, including rationality, morality, freewill, and spiritual nature.

This is fundamental to your existence and your relationship with God.

The image of God you've been created in should not react negatively to devotion. So, whenever you find yourself not fully devoted and submitted to God, it indicates a distortion of your image.

When this happens, remind yourself that you have been transformed into the image of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

As the Church of Christ the moment the Holy Ghost came, He showed us that we were created to worship God, as God's harvest, to serve Him.

Worship is deeper than the singing of songs randomly, our hearts must connect.

There is a posture to respond to God in worship; if your heart is connected, your body will respond.

Can you respond much more to God, than you do to other things?

Before God made man, he created a system and an infrastructure for man's survival, including everything on the earth such as water and plants. This has everything to do with our devotion. We must learn to create an atmosphere before the activity, by setting structures to sustain our devotion.

If you leave it to chance, your devotion will suffer. Don’t wait till you are already on the edge to start building these infrastructures to keep you in check at all times.

Throughout Scripture, love for God has always been presented as something delightful. If that is not the case for you, you must work on your heart, because salvation is a miracle of changed desires, and this should be evident in the life of a believer.

God must command your passions above everything else. You must learn to treat the things of God like a treasure.

Just as the Marines have embraced a lifestyle of unwavering faithfulness to their mission and one another, believers are called to exhibit a selfless commitment to God.

A deep understanding and full realization of Christ's sacrifice should naturally cause a response of consistent and devoted faithfulness in all aspects of one's spiritual life.
